I've just started on a project which will involve working with people in mulitple time zones.

I was wondering what was a good way for me to display the time in up to four time zones. I don't need them visible all the time but I would like to see all the time zones at the same time without too many clicks.

I guess I need either a good world clock application or recommendations of good desktop widgets.

Edit: I have Windows 7 at home but XP on my work PC so an solution that works for XP would be helpful.

If you have Vista (or Windows 7), the built-in clock widget allows you to set a different time zone per instance, and give it a name. So, for example, you could set an instance to Sydney time, and name it "Sydney", and it will show the name on the clock itself.

It's nice - especially the auto zoom where it's small until you point the mouse at it - but there's no way of telling if the time is AM or PM and calling someone in the middle of night is precisely the problem I am trying to avoid. :-)
